Italy comes to LondonLuca’s father moved to the UK in 1978 and made London his home. Here he opened a trattoria where young Luca learned the art of being a restaurateur and discovered his talent for cooking.This London Italian tradizione continued in 2011, when Luca seized the chance to open his own restaurant, carrying the Rossella name in homage to his roots. Embraced by the Kentish Town community, it was built around a family feel, a love of simple, classic Italian dishes made with fresh ingredients and wine from the same family vineyard in Benevento.In 2026, the Rossella family grew with the opening of a second home in Muswell Hill, bringing the same warmth, food and spirit to a new neighbourhood while staying true to everything Rossella stands for.We invite you to continue our journey when you visit, feel part of our family and enjoy the taste of traditional Italian food, whether inside the restaurant or, London sunshine permitting, dining al fresco.

    Fabulous food we had the most amazing(posh) ham egg and chips and the rump steak portions were generous but not overwhelming and every meal as full of flavour The service as always was friendly and smiling (even though it was an uber hot evening and the pub was reasonably busy) The bull feels like a home from home very comfortable and never rushed They also make a fantastic Hugo spritz And they are dog friendly with treats and plenty of water bowls The new garden is lovely. We ate in the courtyard which was nice
